FAULT FINDING

INTRAC-305

Tracking Signal (IBR-L)

If the beacon signal falls to a non-usable level the INTRAC

 

automatically enters Predicting Mode and continues to track

 

the satellite from the model. There is no way of knowing from

 

the INTRAC whether the loss of signal is due to the satellite

 

or the IBR-L. Thus when the displayed beacon level falls

 

below normal the user should check the signal by some other

 

means before assuming an IBR-L problem. The beacon

 

should be checked with a spectrum analyser on a narrow

 

sweep range so that the actual beacon frequency can be

 

seen and measured.

 

Although the loss of or reduction in displayed beacon level

 

could be caused by a fault on the Interface PCB the most

 

likely cause is a faulty IBR-L.
